Ever feel that nagging urge to disconnect, to just… be?
That's your inner caveman knocking. You know... When you want to cuss and abandon the things you're pushed to do because of responsibilities, or when you're told that it is the only way. And when you have to pretend and hide what doesn't suit societal norms.
The reality is, we're biologically hardwired for a world that no longer exists; this creates fascinating conflicts in our daily lives.
Understanding these ancient impulses isn't about regressing, it's about unlocking untapped potential within our modern existence.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: The same order applies whether you live in the wild or in our artificial society. Because were all competing for our space, our share of the bounty. The rules are a little different, but the result is the same. There can only be one winner.
How barbaric is that? Aren't we a society that claims to uplift everyone? Then why is there so much discrimination?
Because we still operate with caveman mentality.
There is a dire need to restore your instinctual GPS. Intolerance and nonobjectivity of individuals and societal narratives makes our "fight or flight" response still crucial. But how many of us misdirect it on social media
instead of saber-toothed tigers (I know they are extinct). What I mean is that fighting is considered primal if you're being rude and dumping your inner prejudice and bigotry. Even when it is on social media.
You know why? Because if it were in person, you will take flight. Move on. Ignore. At best, you'd bitch about it behind people's back.
Let's redirect this energy. Not to fight the wild animals. Nor to become a keyboard warrior. But to hone our power of intuition: That gut feeling which springs in the background. And not confuse it with the reactionary response that comes from conditioned mindset. I am talking about the feeling that makes you see the duplicity of whatever is going on.
That my friend… is your primal brain offering a shortcut to the right decision. We've forgotten how to listen to that voice. Or we ignore it as impulsive. Even call it animalistic. Let me give an example - Have you felt like resigning from your job? Don't lie, we all have. But even after whining all the time, and hating it to the core, you continue to go and slog another day. What if the rejection you're feeling from within for the toxic job, that's paying your living, is not worth it? I mean, you're unable to find what would suit you best because that toxic job is taking up all the time. Even the time you need to enjoy the material things you were able to buy because of that toxic job.
How about you Imagine leveraging focus, resilience, and problem-solving skills honed by millennia of survival? I mean survival of the human race. Now apply that native wisdom to today's challenges.
I'll give you another example: You could be drawn to nature and growing food. But you're stuck in a corporate job that drains you out.
The question is: When will you take the step needed to cut the cord?
I'll tell you... The time is now.
